1.Load a file into the player in Single mode, or multiple files in Multi mode. In Multi, the longest file will be designated as the Master and used to calculate the metronome.
2.Click the Metronome On/Off button to activate the metronome.
3.Enter the duration of the loop in bars into the Bars field on the lane of the Master track, by typing it in directly or using the +/- arrows beneath the field.
4.Enter the number of beats per bar in the loop into the Beats field on the lane of the Master track, by typing it in directly or using the +/- arrows beneath the field.
5.Choose or add a plugin as the sound source for the metronome. Choose the sound you want to use for the metronome and set a MIDI channel for it. Don’t forget to make audio connection from the sound source to your interface outputs.
6.In the Connections view, connect the MIDI Out port of the Audio File Player to the MIDI In port of the plugin you are using to generate the metronome sound.
7.Define the MIDI note, velocity, and duration (Length) to be used for both the Accent and Beat metronome sounds.
8.Set the MIDI Channel field to the channel number of the metronome sound.
9.Click the Play/Pause button and the metronome will play, along with the audio files.
Note: The MIDI metronome assumes the loop contains an exact number of bars, with the beginning of the file being bar 1, beat 1. If this is not the case, the metronome may not sync correctly with the Master track.
